NGC 7101 is a compact elliptical galaxy in the constellation of Pegasus. Its velocity with respect to the cosmic microwave background is 8,176±38 km/s, which corresponds to a Hubble distance of 393.3 ± 27.6 Mly (120.58 ± 8.47 Mpc).[1] It was discovered by German astronomer Albert Marth on 3 August 1864.[2]
Austrian astronomer Rudolf Ferdinand Spitaler also observed this galaxy, but he thought that it was NGC 7100, which is a star in the Milky Way.[2] This error has been reproduced in some databases, such as SIMBAD.[3]
